Vapor Recovery

Flowco’s advanced vapor recovery solutions capture and recycle natural gas that would otherwise be vented or flared, reducing emissions while turning high-BTU gas into a valuable resource.
Discovery

What is Vapor Recovery?

Vapor recovery is the process of capturing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and other emissions that would otherwise be lost during the production and transportation of natural gas and crude oil. By implementing advanced vapor recovery systems, Flowco ensures that these gases are not only captured but also converted into valuable resources, reducing emissions and enhancing profitability.
How It Works

The Vapor Recovery Process

Vapor recovery captures and repurposes hydrocarbon vapors, preventing air pollution and turning wasted gas into revenue. The process involves gas intake, separation, compression, and cooling, ensuring maximum recovery and efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

Our Methodology

Why a Flogistix VRU?

Flogistix VRUs deliver efficiency, reliability, and automation, maximizing vapor capture while reducing emissions. With field-proven technology and real-time monitoring, they optimize performance, support regulatory compliance, and convert waste into revenue.

Benefits of Vapor Recovery by Flogistix

From Cost Center to Profit Center

Our research shows that a tank battery emitting 50 mscfd can lose nearly $200,000 in annual revenue. By capturing this valuable resource, sites producing as little as 10 mscfd can significantly increase earnings with the right compressor sizing. Our VRUs are designed to capture additional gas volumes with maximum cost savings and no capital investment required.

Emissions Reduction

Our mission is to lead the oil and gas industry toward a sustainable, low-carbon future. We are committed to reducing environmental impact through innovative technologies and responsible operating practices. By lowering emissions, conserving resources, and improving energy efficiency, we demonstrate our dedication to protecting the planet. Our goal is to set the standard for sustainable practices across the industry.

Regulatory Compliance

Our VRUs offer a cost-effective solution that meets state and federal air regulations, including Quad O. Flogistix VRUs improve operational efficiency while reducing emissions, capturing millions of tons of CO2e each year. This allows any operation to adopt more environmentally responsible practices without sacrificing performance.

Engineered Precision

Our FX and VRX Series VRUs capture tank vapors with precision and rapid response, maintaining tight pressure control across changing volumes. With our Logix PLC automation technology, capturing tank emissions becomes simpler and more reliable for any operation.

Increased Safety On Sight

Our VRUs effectively manage tank pressure by automatically adjusting to capture the right amount of gas buildup, no matter the oil production rates. This precise control prevents heavy gases from escaping, improving safety and promoting cleaner air.

Extensive Documentation

With full monitoring capabilities, your VRU is always accessible and easy to manage. Our digital twin provides clear records and actionable data, giving you complete visibility and confidence in your system’s performance.
